The Open Mic never shares, rents or sells your personal information to anyone else.

Your personal information is only shared between platforms that we use internally, like: WordPress, Stripe, Paypal, Zapier and MailChimp. They have secure systems in place to safely store your data.

We store your name, email, IP and personalization details that you may choose not too provide in your profile (for example, your languages, fields of expertise, short bio, etc).
